Well, I got the call today from Guest Relations. I did not get the role this time around. They gave me great feedback about what to work on for next time and it basically comes down to brushing up on my interview skills. They were impressed with my knowledge of the role and interest in professional growth but, with all that, I was a candidate that was sitting on the fence for them. Scott, the one who called me was honest and said I could have gotten had I been a little more enthusiastic for the panel. So where does this leave me? I’m still at Magic Kingdom Strollers for now. I’m ok with all of this but, I am working on a career path that will take me out of merchandise and in to operations now. Next week I will be meeting with a manager from Main Street Ops and plan on discussing the options that an operations role will bring. So who know. I do know that I will be watching JOBS for the next Guest Relations posting and working on my interview skills a little more for the next time.

Well, I am officially posting this update from my Dashboard on Mac OS X via WordPressDash. This week has been one that is both up and down with things going on among my group of friends with relationships as well as a full week so far at work and preparing for my Guest Relations Interview tomorrow. I am currently printing off my resumé on nice paper, reviewing all the company information (stock price, news, etc) and getting my suit and pins ready for tomorrow morning. Yesterday I picked up a shift at Test Track Merchandise and was able to meet up with my mentors over at MouseGear for some last minute advice and prep for the interview which was so great of them to do for me.

Moving on from work, I am just relaxing at home this morning waiting for Patrick to get out of school so we can head to the parks and relax a bit. Parks are finally slowing down so it isn’t as jam packed as it has been all summer long. Other than that, there isn’t really much more to report from my end. Feel free to dropme a line.

Well folks, I know it has been a LONG time since I posted. There is a reason though, and that is called six-day work weeks! Yes folks, that is right, yours truly has been working 48-52 hours in the past couple of weeks to cover the casting shortages we are having. The good news is that this week is the last of it. About the only thing keeping me sane at work is Baloo and King Louie who like to give me a hard time when they go out on sets. I love you guys and Louie, I’m sorry but your bananas still haven’t arrived. Speaking of work, I am still waiting on Guest Relations. I have been told that they had a lot of qualified people apply and they are still deciding on a list for those to interview. So stay tuned.

Also keeping me sane has been my only day off these weeks where I get to hang out with my friends. Patrick and I have had the chance to catch up on these days and hit the parks till the others get out and we can meet up for dinner or a movie. Sometimes though, I don’t know how they all can put up with me because I am so stressed at work and can sometimes let it come to us hanging out. Oh well, we all still get along and are looking forward to the Disneyland trip in October.

What else is going on, umm Patrick and I saw the 40-Year Old Virgin last night. It’s a funny movie but I don’t see it as a movie I would go see more than once. It was a nice evening considering we both had a horrible day at work. Well, I’m going to get back to chatting online with people so if you are on AIM, shoot me a message. That’s it for now.

Sorry for the lack of updates folks. I have been busy with work and well, there really isn’t much new to report. The posting for Guest Relations has closed and I am now waiting to find out if I will get an interview and move on to the next step. Monday morning, I also found out that I did make the sign-up and I am again a member of the Candlelight Processional Cast Choir (pending the completion of 10 rehearsals). Speaking of Candlelight, I also ran in to my friend Mark at the Magic Kingdom while he was on a VIP Tour with a family from Extreme Makeover – Home Edition and we finally found some time to meet up and catch up since we haven’t hung out since like March.

Today was my only day off this week since we are on six-day work weeks with the College Program students leaving and new ones arriving. It’s not too fun but hey, next week I have four morning shifts in strollers. 7:30 am to 4:00 pm baby! I managed to sleep in finally and then catch up on cleaning around the apartment like laundry and such. This afternoon I met up with Patrick after he got out of school and we went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom for a bit and then off to catch Wedding Crashers at AMC-Pleasure Island. It’s a funny movie and worth going to go see (sorry, I’m not the best at reviews).

Now, I am just relaxing at home before going to bed and then back to work tomorrow morning. Feel free to leave a comment or shoot me a message.

Howdy folks. I am just relaxing at home today. I spent the day with my friend Patrick yesterday and we did Disney-MGM studios before heading to Epcot for a short bit and then shopping at the Mall. I finally got my watch resized at Fossil since my wrist is shrinking I swear. For those that haven’t seen me in awhile, I have lost about 35-40 pounds since graduation last May and it seems like I am keeping it off too! After the mall, we came back to my place to watch a movie and then ended up meeting up with Joe, Travis and Paul to go see Wishes and Spectromagic at the Magic Kingdom before calling it a night.

This week has also started off with a some exciting news. 1) I have officially signed up for the 2005 Candlelight Processional. I will find out August 8 if I make it in again. 2) I have applied for a role in Guest Relations at the Walt Disney World Resort. This is the role that I want and have been working for. The application process lasts a month so I will keep everyone posted. Well, back to relaxing. That’s the short update for now.
